geography term 1
7 Geographical concepts:
INTERNCONNECTION :
Geographers use the concept of interconnection to better understand the complex links between natural and human processes that shape our Earth.
SUSTANABILITY:
The concept of sustainability relates to the ongoing capacity of Earth to maintain all life. This means developing ways to ensure that all resources on Earth are used and managed responsibly so they are there for future generations.
ENVIRONMENT:
The world in which we live is made up of many different environments. Some environments are natural (or physical) such as deserts, grasslands, mountains, coral reefs, forests, oceans and ice caps.
CHANGE :
The Earth is constantly changing. Some changes occur very rapidly and are easy to see, while others take place over millions of years and are almost undetectable to us. It can be made by human processes. The biggest change thus far is the climate.
SPACE :
To most people space means the empty universe but to a geographer it has a different meaning. Geographers investigate the way that things are mapped and arranged on the Earth’s surface.
SCALE
Scale is an additional concept used to guide geographical inquiries. Geographers study things that take place on many different spatial levels – meaning from small areas (such as a local park) to very large areas (such as the use of oil and coal all over the world).The side of a river is: a riparian zone is a natural barrier for the river
PLACE:
Places are parts of the Earth’s surface that are identified and given meaning by people. A place can be as small as your bedroom or as large as the entire planet! Places can be natural (that is, shaped by the environment and largely unchanged by humans) or built (that is, constructed by humans).
mapping skills
referencing
6 digit referencing
eastings before northings, no space or dashes,it is also more accurate
4 digit area referencing
eastings go before northings, reference bottom left corner, no space commas or dots and dashes
